Do drugs exist?

They do. There's many of our real world drugs, but there's also various drugs undiscovered in the Southlands where dense jungles hide plants and substances unknown to man. The first book I worked on had the hero's village get burned down because the ashes let the Felthalas weed grow to be picked, driven by a savvy businessman who wished to collected the stuff and ship it to the markets of the northern continent.

Well, what's it called? Does the world/country's name have any significance?

The planet is called Maroleth by the Elves, which means "Tainted/Corrupted Land" in the First Tongue. It is called Torek by the Dwarves, who are the first natives to the world, though they also just call the main continent that as well. Tor is a name for their chief deity, and 'tor' rock formations are considered sacred.

Nirn root. It's literally a birth control.
